Chapter 11 Departure
"Yo, little Liu Li, it's rare for me to come here alone today?" The common faces of the Mercenary Guild have changed batch after batch in the past two years. Those who knew about Liu Li's master-apprentice relationship with Wells at the beginning now seem to be gone, some have left and gone to other cities to earn a living, while some have stayed in the southern Jedi forever. They can see that Old Wells doesn't want to spread the relationship with Liu Li too much, although they usually laugh at him, but these mercenaries still give Wells a lot of face, and for the latecomers, they only say that Liu Li is a junior of Wells. "How about it, would you like a glass of ale, I'll ask you!"
Because of Wells's relationship, Liu Li is also very familiar with those who often appear in the Mercenary Guild, and these people also have some understanding of Liu Li's physique that can't drink.
"Hey, bastards, don't tease our little Liu Li!" Before Liuli could speak, Li'er's voice came from afar. Liu Li also learned about the relationship between Li'er and Old Wells later, when Li'er's family moved south with the caravan, but encountered the notorious Red Mountain Bandit on the way. In order to covet a little cheapness, the steward of the caravan did not put much effort into the selection of the accompanying escort mercenaries, and he did not know that he was mixed in by the bandits, and the entire caravan was also wiped out under the cooperation of the inside and outside. Fortunately, Old Wells, who had returned from the imperial capital, happened to travel nearby, and although many people were saved, Kelly's parents had already been killed. As an official mage of the Imperial Magic Association, he should have left after escorting the half-crippled caravan to the next town, after all, he still had his own mission. Seeing that Lil had lost her parents and had no other relatives, she couldn't ignore it, because she had to rush back to Casfield City as soon as possible, Wells didn't have time to stay there to help Lil find a family that could take care of her, and finally had to take her with her. As a town mage, she is also familiar with the local mercenary guild leader, and eventually, Lil stayed here as the adopted daughter of the Kasfield mercenary guild president and became a receptionist for the mercenary guild.
"Ah, Li'er, are you planning to raise little Liu Li and eat it?" Ike is the youngest of the mercenaries on the left and right, as the son of Orion, he is not willing to shrink in Casfield City for the rest of his life, so he finally embarked on the path of mercenaries. Speaking of which, Liu Li and Ike are also very familiar, Ike is the same age as Lil, except for Liu Li, he is the saddest person about the Kamal team at the beginning. "Li'er, why are you like this, you ignore my pursuit, but you fall in love with Xiao Liu Li. ”
"Ahem, Ike, that bearded leopard you brought earlier......"
"Sister Li'er, I was wrong, you are so beautiful today. Before Li'er could finish speaking, Ike's attitude instantly changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and the pitiful expression made the first thought of most people in the hall be to kick at that cheap face. Feeling the atmosphere in the hall, Liu Li's haze in his heart was also reduced a lot because of the previous conversation with Wells.
"Alright, Ike, you stay put. Li'er walked up to Liu Li as she spoke, "What's the matter with coming here today? ”
"I want to apply for mercenary qualification. Time is limited, Liu Li also went straight to the point, "I have to leave in a few days to help the old money fan do something, it is estimated that there will be no way back in a short time, and it is more convenient to have an identity to go out." ”
"How can an old money fan be like this!" In Li'er's opinion, Liu Li is still just a child who has no power to protect herself, although when there are no outsiders, she often hears Wells lament that she has accepted a good student, how good Liu Li's talent is. But Liu Li's promotion to the first rank has not been long ago, and even Li'er, who is familiar with Wells, doesn't know the news. The criteria for entering the caster varies, for example, the spell operator needs to master more than three spells that can be cast in conjunction with each other, the spell bearer has certain requirements for the type of a single spell and the casting speed, and the invoker requires the mastery of the first-order spells to be handy. Liu Li's current level, to be precise, should have reached the first level in both mantra holding and praying for spirits.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and even Liu Li herself knows that Lier has different feelings for him than others. It wasn't the love between men and women, maybe it was because they were all rescued by Wells, and they were all alone in this world, and Lier really treated Liu Li as her younger brother. However, after all, Li'er has been a receptionist in the Mercenary Guild for more than ten years, and watching Liu Li frequently glance at herself, she knows that he has some things that he has not said explicitly, and this is not a good place to talk.
"You come with me. Still looking angry on the surface, Li'er dragged Liu Li by the ear and dragged him to her room. As for the whistle in the hall, she didn't care after living in this environment for more than ten years.
"Lil......"
"Call sister!" she told Liu Li more than once about the title, but Liu Li thought about her age when she was on Earth, and then looked at Li'er's current appearance. It's hard to open your mouth.
"Okay, sister. The final result was the same as every time, and it was better to follow her a little under Lil's gaze, "I was promoted to the first rank, just a few days ago. ”
Hearing the news, the complaints about Liu Li and Old Wells were completely forgotten by Lier, and she was only happy for Liu Li in her heart. After being in contact with Wells for so long, she may not have any talent in magic cultivation, but she also knows how fast it is to reach the first order in two years, not to mention that there is almost a year of learning languages. However, she is still worried in her heart, she also knows what kind of character Liu Li is, and she will definitely not decide to go far away. That's what happened to Old Wells that made Liu Li have to leave.
Liu Li didn't want to tell Li'er the truth, for fear that she would be worried, not to mention that even he himself was confused now, and even if he wanted to, he didn't know what to say. "Well, it's just that the path of magic cultivation that suits me is a little different from the teacher's, so he asked me to go to the Eleno Academy of Magic for a while. ”
Hearing Liu Li's explanation, Li'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was just going to study at the academy. Instead, he also began to plan for Liu Li: "Well, having the identity of a mercenary on the way out will indeed save a lot of trouble, and the number of spellcasters in the mercenary group is very small, and they are usually protected in a safe place." Well, when do you leave, the mercenary qualifications are easy to handle, I'll help you find out if there is a suitable team. ”
Seeing Li'er plan for herself like this, Liu Li felt guilty and moved at the same time, "Well, sister, then I'll trouble you." Liu Li's "sister" is very sincere.
Mercenaries rarely travel alone, and they generally form a team of several acquaintances, and wait until they have a certain reputation or self-recommendation or are recruited into a relatively large mercenary team. If nothing else, there are so many barren mountains and mountains in this world that if you go alone, even a vigil will be a problem, let alone an adventure.
Powell is the leader of the Sharpstone Mercenary Regiment, and just yesterday, when Lil, the Mercenary Guild's favorite receptionist, told him that a spellcaster was going to temporarily follow his team to Eleonor, he was not very happy. In this world, except for Wells's old money fan, other spellcasters will basically show a condescending attitude in front of mercenaries. While spellcasters are often far more powerful than their peers, in a mature team, skillful coordination is the most important factor in victory. A first-order spellcaster, the real role he can play in the team is very limited, not to mention, in case there is a conflict with others, it is even more difficult to deal with, the caster cannot be offended, but he can't be wronged by the members of his own team. However, he did not refuse in person, Lil's work in the Mercenary Guild has always been reassuring, and in the end, Powell decided to meet the other party before making a decision. He didn't tell his team about this, otherwise the stinky boys would have annoyed her.
Liu Li, who was ready to travel, came to the Mercenary Guild, and Wells was very thoughtful for him, and even prepared a legendary space item for him. On the inside of his right wrist, an inscription covered by a bracer was originally a spatial bracelet, but it only contained his spear staff. (This weapon still doesn't have a name, so it shows that our protagonist is also a severely ill patient with a difficult name, just like the author.) Well, it's actually just a weapon magazine, after all, his spear and staff also belong to the category of long weapons, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity as a spellcaster too early, so that's the only way to deal with it.
"You kid became a first-order so soon?" Powell was also one of the few people who knew about the relationship between Liu Li and Wells, and he was also present two years ago, but he really didn't expect that the first-order mage that Li'er was going to introduce to him was actually Liu Li. While sighing at Liu Li's promotion speed, he also put his mind at ease, at least he won't have any conflicts with the guys in his team, and Liu Li is also a familiar face in the Mercenary Guild.
"Uncle Powell, you just treat me as an ordinary gun warrior, and I still want to hide my identity as a mage for a while. Liu Li is no stranger to this mercenary uncle who fights with Wells from time to time, and his tone of voice is much more casual: "The teacher asked me to go to Alonor's magic academy for further study for a while, so I asked you on the way." ”
"Well, it's good to be careful when you're out and about. affirmed Liu Li's approach, and no longer emphasized too much. As for the rules of mercenaries, this little guy is more familiar with the rules of mercenaries than some newcomers in his own group, "Let's go, let's go." Xiao Li'er, don't worry, I will deliver the goods carefully. ”
"Our Liu Li is not a cargo!" Well, Liu Li can't deny that another reason why she is close to Li'er is that her personality is very similar to the cat she had before she crossed over.
Looking back at Casfield City, which was gradually hidden by branches and leaves, and disappeared at the end of the line of sight, Liu Li couldn't help but look forward to it: "Alenno, what kind of place is it?" ”
